# Biometric Systems
## Definition
**Biometric Systems** is technical and institutional systems that capture, derive, store, compare, or act on measurable bodily or behavioral characteristics. In the host-infrastructure corpus, the term is used only at this level of abstraction; its presence in a relationship graph does not settle philosophical identity, authorize surveillance, or establish a corporate continuity program.
